I suggest you figure out what chip set your card uses.  In my case the
DWL-G650 used a prism chipset.  The prism54 driver worked for it.  That
driver does not use the ndiswrapper.  I have found you have to be very
specific when looking for drivers.  The same model card from a
manufacturer can have slightly different revisions with different chip
sets.  

Good luck.
